Liberal’s Love the Compare Game
Yes, refugees who left to AVOID religious persecution, not to PRACTICE it.
....and history tells us what happens to a native population
Colonists.
They were colonists.
Not immigrants. Not refugees.
Colonists.
They are mental midgets.
This is easy. The Pilgrims did not run throughout the nation burning, raping, pillaging and destroying all structures that existed before. Yes, there were some isolated events of Crusader Overeach, but the violence was not done en masse and in tribute to their religious principles.
From persecution, not as the perpetrators of it.
Those refugees did not carry islam with them and were not intent on destroying any other peoples or religions that were different from theirs.
Comparison invalid.
Trudeau compares his Syrians to the 1970’s Boat People
Exactly. I reject the comparison, but if we go with it...how did it work out for the welcoming native population? They just keep outsmarting or outdumbing themselves with their oh so (they think) clever thoughts.
No they weren’t. They left Holland because they wanted their kids to grow up English, not Dutch.
They fled to Holland because they wanted to escape the political blow back that happened due to the Royalist restoration in England.
HuffPo is trying to control the debate by redirecting the language. The problem isn’t with refugees; it’s with terrorists. The law - and fairness - demands that they be subject to the same inspection given to any alien who applies for admission to the US, under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Title 8 USC) that outlines the various grounds for exclusion.
Nice to see that Huff had “evolved” to a compassionate view of the original Puritans. Maybe they can also ask themselves how the existing open borders and lax immigration system worked out for the other Americans?
IOW, not a threat.
no moral equivalency between Christians and mohammedans
Yeah....i remember reading all those stories of Pilgrims burning people alive in cages.
And their values and conduct was substantially better than the ones HuffPo wants to brown nose.
Tell you what, how about we see how the new pilgrims do when provided the same level of support the original pilgrims had?
I thought the Pilgrims were suffering from White Privilege.
Yes and look what happened to the Natives. . . .
:)
So let me get this straight.
The same people that tell us about how the “white man” Pilgrims came over and “stole” the land from the Indians, killed them with their guns, and gave them all manner of sickness to the “peaceful” natives...
Are NOW saying they were “refugees”, casting some sympathetic angle that they can then parlay into guilt-tripping people today into flooding the nation with Syrians?
